Core aeration is done on turf areas as a means of reducing turf compaction, reducing thatch buildup, improving the infiltration of water/nutrients, encouraging deeper roots, and creating an environment where grass seed can have direct contact with the soil.Thin spots get double aeration and the remainder of the turf one pass. Irrigation heads need to be marked, the day after we mow, once you have received your scheduled date. We can flag your irrigation at an additional cost.
